WEBS (We’re Empowered by Science) Summer Camp Engages Young Scientists

by Brie Friedman

More than 100 seventh through 12th grade students from over 25 different schools attended Wilkes University’s WEBS (We’re Empowered by Science) summer camp from July 21-26. 

Campers joined Wilkes professors and students in state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms, dance studios and the outdoors to learn more about STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). 

Wilkes faculty across the sciences, math, computer science and engineering disciplines provided an educational week of exploration through exciting, innovative and fun projects, allowing campers  to investigate many areas of science through hands-on laboratories and activities. 

Classes and activities in the WEBS summer camp focused on nutrition, frog and pig dissections, relics, coastal impacts of sea level rise, viscosity, genetics, physics of dance, CSI, pharmacy and much more. 

Local media was drawn to the WEBS excitement, too. Check it out:
